Spatial analysis of teen births near the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site by Nicole V DeVille, Carolina Villanueva, Susan A Korrick, Verónica M Vieira

“…The highest risk was observed north and northeast of the harbor (OR: 95% CI—3.19: 2.08, 4.88 and 2.93: 1.47, 5.82), which aligns with the prevailing wind direction from the harbor. Our study illustrates the importance of assessing the independent contributions of sociodemographic factors to geographic variation in teen birth risk. …”

Bronchoscopic lung lavage and exogenous surfactant successfully reverse respiratory failure after severe chlorine exposure: A pediatric case report by Paola Papoff, Benedetto D'Agostino, Roberto Cicchetti, Antonella Bitti, Valentina Pennetta, Elena Caresta

“…Given the underlying pathophysiology of chlorine lung injury characterized by surfactant dysfunction, the boy was treated with repeated bronchoscopic lung lavages followed by exogenous surfactant (Curosurf 30 mg/kg total), 1 h after intubation and subsequently after 6 and 12 h, when he achieved a significant and stable reduction in ventilatory requirements. This case study illustrates the beneficial effects of target therapy with bronchoscopic lung lavage followed by exogenous surfactant in chlorine related ARDS to prevent more invasive and costly treatments.…”

Understanding the Functional Plasticity in Neural Networks of the Basal Ganglia in Cocaine Use Disorder: A Role for Allosteric Receptor-Receptor Interactions in A2A-D2 Heterorecept... by Dasiel O. Borroto-Escuela, Karolina Wydra, Julia Pintsuk, Manuel Narvaez, Fidel Corrales, Magdalena Zaniewska, Luigi F. Agnati, Rafael Franco, Sergio Tanganelli, Luca Ferraro, Malgorzata Filip, Kjell Fuxe

“…Our hypothesis is that allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in homo- and heteroreceptor complexes may form the molecular basis of learning and memory. This principle is illustrated by showing how cocaine abuse can alter the adenosine A2AR-dopamine D2R heterocomplexes and their receptor-receptor interactions and hereby induce neural plasticity in the basal ganglia. …”

The case for development of a core outcome set (COS) and supplemental reporting guidelines for influenza vaccine challenge trial research in swine by Sheila Keay, Famke Alberts, Annette M. O’Connor, Robert Friendship, Terri O’Sullivan, Zvonimir Poljak

“…Clinical heterogeneity and reporting issues complicate and limit what can be learned cumulatively from research and both represent two types of avoidable research waste. Here, we illustrate each concern using data collected tangentially during the systematic review and propose two corrective strategies, both of which have broad applicability across veterinary intervention research; (i) develop a Core Outcome Set (COS) to reduce unnecessary clinical heterogeneity in future research and (ii) encourage funders and journal editors to require submitted research protocols and manuscripts adhere to established reporting guidelines. …”

Species-specific mercury speciation in billfishes and its implications for food safety monitoring and dietary advice by Anaïs Médieu, David Point, Valérie Allain, Nathalie Bodin, Mélanie Lemire, Pierre Ayotte, Zahirah Dhurmeea, Matthieu Waeles, Laure Laffont, Antoine Le Gohalen, François Roupsard, Anne Lorrain

“…We found low percentages of methylmercury in blue and black marlins (15 ± 7 %) compared to swordfish and striped marlin (89 ± 13 %), with no significant differences among ocean regions. This illustrates that billfishes exhibit species-specific methylmercury bioaccumulation patterns, likely related to unique selenium-dependent in vivo methylmercury demethylation capacities in muscle. …”
